How is the child seat restrained wrong in the new Toyota commercial?

On YouTube, there are comments saying the new Car Wash commercial has the child's seat restrained wrong.



How is it restrained wrong? I'm not at all knowledgeable, seeing as I neither have children nor transport them.How is the child seat restrained wrong in the new Toyota commercial?The belts go off to the side below the fastener on the chest. If it were buckled in properly on the bottom, they should go straight down, because that buckle is between his legs.

EDIT:

Yeah, the fastener on the chest could also be 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch higher for maximum protection, but that's not going to make much of a difference compared to the buckle at the bottom, because that's the one that receives the most strain! Without it, the strain that would be put on the top one would be too much, and it would likely break, no matter how high it's fastened, if there was a high-impact collision.How is the child seat restrained wrong in the new Toyota commercial?I saw that commercial and knew something wasn't right but yeah the chest clip isn't at arm pit length and the part in between his legs aren't connected. he's obviously an older child and couldn't be properly restrained they should have just used a booster seat.How is the child seat restrained wrong in the new Toyota commercial?I see 2 problems...
